Abstract: During the times of former SFRY, Bosnia and Herzegovina represented, together with its cities and regions, a constituent element of the so called „AVNOJ“ (Anti-Fascist Council of National Liberation of Yugoslavia) travel itineraries of Slovene attractions and sights attracted groups and individually motivated vistiors. Desintegration of Yugoslavia and armed conflicts which followed interrupted and later broke off tourist activities in the debated region. With peace reestablishment, stabilization of general conditions and post-war restoration in the late nineties of the past century, the circumstances for re-development of tourism in Bosnia and Herzegovina improved. The article initially presents tourism trends of Bosnia and Herzegovina over the last decade. Special emphasis is put on the number of Slovene tourists and their overnight stays in comparison with other visitors. Authors proceed with an analysis of tourist offer of Slovene travel agencies and other tour organisers who include Bosnia and Herzegovina and its destinations into their travel itineraries. The research performed shows that Bosnia and Herzegovina is becoming increasingly more recognised and visited tourist destination by Slovene visitors.

Key words: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovenia, tourism trends, tourism offer, geography of tourism.
